In the debut episode of Zone of Risk, trial attorneys Joni Mosely and Spencer Charif dive headfirst into three courtroom sagas you have to hear to believe.

The Karen Read retrial: a high-profile case featuring discredited expert witnesses, alleged police cover-ups, and a prosecution theory torn apart by its own evidence.

The Diddy/Cassie case: and why the defense’s strategy to flip blame on the victim could actually work.

And a case from Joni and Spencer’s own war chest, involving a loaded gun used during sex... and a defense so wild, it made the judge go silent.

This is where legal analysis meets raw courtroom chaos.

Welcome to the Zone of Risk.

Hey folks. Robert here. I have decided to step away from the podcast for an indeterminate period of time. Thank you for listening and for your support.

Melanie Kalmanson, a partner at Quarlers & Brady, joined Robert to discuss a new Florida statute that requires judges to impose a sentence of death if an "unauthorized alien" commits a capital offense. Melanie and Robert examine potential constitutional issues the law faces under current Supreme Court precedent and how the law will be challenging for trial courts to implement.

921.1426 Sentence of death for capital offense committed by unauthorized alien. —Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the court shall sentence a defendant who is an unauthorized alien and who is convicted or adjudicated guilty of a capital felony to a sentence of death. As used in this section, the term “unauthorized alien” has the same meaning as in s. 908.111.
